Wood Work
Rowdy Records/Major Way Entertainment
1. Welcome 2 Da Backwudz
Sho Nuff: We ain’t wanna do it like the normal intros, we just wanted to rap and welcome everyone to the experience that they about to have. Let everyone know about the Backwudz.
2. You Gonna Luv Me
FEATURING: Milwaukee Black
Sho Nuff: We came out with it a while back. You gonna feel us with whatever we do musically, whatever we got going on, you gonna love us.
3. I Don’t Like the Look of It (Oompa)
FEATURING: Caz Clay
Sho Nuff: Sometimes people don’t like the look of the stuff that we be doing, so we just had to speak on it. As far as the video, It was more of a collective idea with Dallas and Fat Cats. We all sat down and tried to come up with some crazy hot concepts (like) the kids doing the Oompa Loompas, similar to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. We just came up with the idea and it came out hot.
4. Getting 2 It
FEATURING: Killer Mike
Sho Nuff: We had to do a song for the streets. Where we from, them boys be getting into it. It’s one of them songs that is a feel good song that make you get into it no matter what you do.
5. Makin’ Money Counting Hundreds
Sho Nuff: Shout out one time to the Marley family. That's a Bob Marley song, and it's just one of them feel good songs like "Getting 2." It has the same kind of theme and we happy that we blessed.
6. The World Could Be Yours
Sho Nuff: When you in a relationship with somebody and you kicking it, and they feel that you ain’t putting in work or showing them love, you be like, ‘if you let me grind and do what I gotta do to work, then the world can be yours.’ It’s a hot song.
7. Fantastic
FEATURING: Bohagon and Jeff B
Sho Nuff: That’s one of my favorite songs on the album. It’s a summer joint and you can drop the top or whatever you riding in. It’s a feel good song and anyone can be fantastic. It’s about feeling good and feeling fantastic about yourself.
8. I’ll do
FEATURING: Jasper
Sho Nuff: That’s one of those late night songs. You telling the girl that you will do damn near anything you ask me to because I’m feeling you like that. Jasper is one of Dallas’s producers over at Rowdy, and it’s just one of those songs when your vibing with a chick and you telling them that you’ll do damn near anything, not everything you ask me, but damn near anything, and I’ll work that out for you baby because I’m feeling you like that. We was in the studio jammin’ and Jasper is a real good dude, so look out for him.
9. Wood Grain (Interlude)
10. Whatcha Know ‘Bout My Life
FEATURING: Big Gipp
Sho Nuff: We was just on a personal level. This song is featuring Big Gipp. It’s just letting you know who we are on a personal level. I got real personal on that song. You can’t judge a book by its cover. People always think when they look at you that they can just read you and know all about you. They be like you have never been through shit. You never know what someone done been through, and we was just speaking on that.
11. Mama Always Told Me
FEATURING: Sleepy Brown
Big Marc: This like my favorite song, me and Sho Nuff are cousins and man, our fathers are brothers, but we were still raised in single parent homes with our mothers. My mom is like my backbone man. The beginning of the hook says, “Mama always told me where there’s angels there are demons,” my mama always guided me morally right, and we just had to speak on that. She always told me to stay in prayer and the blessings will come, not when you want them to, but when you least expect it. When you least expect them, it’s gonna be the perfect time. Also, Rico Wade produced that and Sleepy Brown is on that boy to-, me and Sleepy Brown singing on that thing. We actually recorded this song in the Dungeon, so that was an experience all in itself too- to record in the same studio and the same mic that Kast and Goodie done rapped on. That was a wonderful experience, for real.
12. Feelin Lonely
Sho Nuff: We talked about a lot of social issues. Marc’s verse, he is talking about a girl whose going through a lot. Her father was molesting her and eventually towards the end of the verse, she killed herself. We just touching on a lot of subjects that’s going on in the world that a lot of people tend to look over.
13. Lock and Load
Sho Nuff: Dallas did that one. When people hear the title, they probably think that we talking about guns. We actually talking about locking and loading with the word of God, man and being ready for anything that comes in front of you. You gotta shoot down that negativity with that humble ammunition.
Big Marc: We was vibing so hard, and that’s another one of my favorite ones.
14. Same Song
Sho Nuff: Shouts out to all the DJ’s that supported us. We were addressing about how when you hear the radio, that you hear the same songs. A lot of underground artists are not getting air time and a lot of DJ’s are looking over them. We ain’t hating on none of the DJ’s, but when you hear it, that is what it’s pertaining to. Just try to show some versatility with the radio. Without the DJ’s and fans, the artists ain’t nothing.
15. Smoke N Ride
FEATURING: George Clinton
Big Marc: We recorded that song in the studio with George. My mama and grandmamma grew up on George, that’s they generation. We was in there vibing and the song is just so funky. When you hear it, you gonna swear that we are at a PFunk concert. It was a wonderful experience.
16. You Gonna Luv Me (Remix)
FEATURING: Nas and Slim Thug
Sho Nuff: That’s Nas and Slim Thugga. It was a blessing to have the opportunity to do that because a lot of people been requesting that since day one.
